I raise Shih Tzu with a strong focus on health testing and early development, producing sound, healthy companions with stable temperaments, placing them thoughtfully, and remaining a lifelong resource—including taking back any dog I have bred if needed.
Meet The Breeder
After seeing repeated and costly health issues in companion animals of family and friends, including thyroid disease and seizures among others, I felt strongly that healthier companion animals should be more readily available to the public in greater numbers as we have a shortage of healthy options. Forty years ago we may have had too many pets roaming the streets but now we import 1 million every year and those aren't health tested. Now that we can health test we should consider it our duty to provide more options to the public of well bred animals, reducing lifetime vet bills and avoiding behavioral issues. With a background in the medical and dental field as a retired dental hygienist and years of hands-on animal care, I set out to build a small, thoughtful breeding program centered on health, temperament, and lifelong accountability to create the ideal companion. DNA testing and OFA health certificates ensure the healthiest pups possible. Since 2005, we have lived on a small hobby farm where I have studied animal behavior and natural farm management practices such as pasture rotation, parasite reduction, and careful enclosure care. I bring that same thoughtful approach to breeding through close observation, thorough screening, and intentional trait pairing, always with the dog’s long-term well-being in mind, always striving to improve the breed through every generation.
